Two weeks in, and I’m amazed. \u00a0Today is the 14th of June, so with 46.666%<\/strong> (recurring<\/em>) of the month gone, the 30 members of the June100<\/a><\/strong> have completed 94.7333%<\/strong> (recurring<\/em>) of the mileage required. \u00a0Of course it’s an individual challenge, but those figures show how awesome some of you guys are.<\/p>\n 12 people have already completed the 100 leisure miles. \u00a0Another 7 (making 19 out of 30 overall<\/em>) are ahead of their pro-rata target and look like hitting the 100 miles by month end. \u00a0I’m sure a bunch of others will increase the mileage (including Rafe<\/a>, who doesn’t even start until the 20th<\/em>) and hit the target.<\/p>\n I take my hat off to you all. \u00a0You’re special. \u00a0And I don’t mean in a sunshine bus kind of way. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n So far, all my rides for the #June100<\/strong> have increased in length. \u00a0I suspect this won’t continue because I messed up that continuum on Saturday by doing a 2 hour ride. \u00a0It was great fun though. \u00a0I found myself with the afternoon free so I got changed, got the Fat Boy out of the shed and headed first to Castleton via Thornham Lane (or Thornham Old Road as it’s called now<\/em>), before going to my favourite place in the world, Hollingworth Lake, along the canalside. \u00a0One quick lap o’t’Lake and then back home in time to pick up the kids.<\/p>\n It was a gorgeous day, so it was a gorgeous rise and with just over 20 miles under my belt I was well chuffed with myself. \u00a0I took just one rest stop to take a photo too, so I was very happy with my legs.<\/p>\n The other good news on Saturday was the arrival of my MTB slicks, which I’ll put on the week before Manchester to Blackpool, which is in 3 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\t\tSaturday’s Ride<\/h2>\n
